I've posted my first and only card in a pioneer postcard series by Toronto Litho Co. Ltd. The series is nicely represented in the second edition of Ken Elder's A History and Directory of Yukon Postcards 1897—1942. In that book, Ken Elder shows 5 cards in that series, each with similar Dawson-City Greetings text, and a back modelled after the second Canadian UPU postal stationery card issued in 1896. My particular card is not postally used, but Ken's cards date back to October 5, 1899.

A series of updates to the Albertype listings have been added, including creating a new page for postcards from Dawson, Yukon Territories, published for Landahl’s Emporium of Dawson.

One of my favourite Albertype Company-based local publishers in Landahl’s Emporium in Dawson, Yukon.

In Dawson, Yukon Territory, Harry Landahl established Landahl’s Emporium at 116 Second Avenue South in late 1904. This was followed by a relocation to 205 King Street into the former location of Smith’s Book Store in 1906. Landahl’s Emporium was the publisher of a wide variety of Dawson postcards printed by The Albertype Co. from about August 1905 through July 1913.

I’ve added seven more cards from Landahl’s Emporium, including the card pictured here, to the collection. Some of the cards are postally used from one sender (circa 1906) who described the price of meat (“as high as $1.00 per pound” and “Mountain Sheep–which are frozen meat, brought from 50 to 75 cts per pound”) and furs (“These furs and heads are from up the Stewart river and are worth $5000, all belong to the Indian”)
